Driving Towards Progress

Example of the simulator used in class to simulate real-life driving situations.

The CCF’s H.E.A.L. Project participated in a revolutionary driver’s education program catered to those who are hearing-impaired.

Thanks to the generous support from AAA The Auto Club Group, the program revolutionized driver education with a cutting-edge driving simulator. 13 participants practiced on the simulator, gaining valuable skills and confidence. The program graduated 6 participants with either a driver’s license or a permit: Rafed Kareem, Nawras Nasee, Basma Malan, Taha Alhalabi, Nedhal Alosachie and Najwa Al Neesan.

One of our most inspiring stories came from a participant whose father has night blindness. Before, his father could only drive during daylight hours, often relying on Uber for nighttime transportation. Now, thanks to his son obtaining his driver’s license, he can safely drive his father at any time of day.
